I have an Abbey Iona of '95 vintage. The rear lights fixing screws, go into what appears to be rubber grommets with a threaded inset, which are wedged into a hole in the body moulding. Needless to say, I pushed one through the panel which now needs to be replaced. So, can anyone tell me where to obtain a replacement, other than a 'van breakers?

Hi, these are generally available at caravan centres pre packed by W4 I think. shaped like a top hat with thread at one end, pushed into hole as screw tightens it compresses rubber and expands outwards making it too fat to come out of the hole thus securing fixing.

Thanks very much. I'm off to Halfords and if no luck there, it will be eBay.
